The Effect Of Despotism on Russian Lit.
erature.

In other lands the national energy is
absorbed and scattered in o thousand
necessities and opportunities that lead
men into various fields of action and adj
venture which here are closed by q
rigid despotism. In the rest of Europe
the trifling novel Of mere amusement
has sufficient reason for existing, but in
Russia life is too serious; entertaining
fiction has to be imported along with
champagne, and silks, and ribbons, and
the native who writes speaks for the
whole compressed anguish of q people
in chains. Mere entertainment would
be q degrading aim for . Russian novel;
ist-that is, the luxury of ease and se-
curity, and not even the masters in that
country know either of these. All
writing is under the control of q Wig
liant censorship; students are forbid
don acces to what are regarded Is dan
gerous books; yet the novel, by confin-
ing itself to the representation Of famil-
lar or possible facts, manages to elude
repression. Even the sharpest-eyed
censor does not read what is written
between the lines; but it is this part,
printed as it were in invisible ink, that
helps to fill out the terrible picture of
despair that almost every Russian
novel contains. Not merely, then, are
the literary hobgoblins dead; they have
never lived long their shoulders were
too weak to bear the burden Of express
ing real suffering and hopeless misery.
Their absence is certainly a natural re-
suit Of the condition Of affairs; for just
~ cruelty begets deceit. SO the despot-
ism Of that unhappy land has taught
men to attack the abuse Of power by
portraying it, results without uttering
an aggressive word of abuse or criti-
cism.
Indeed, o. . valuable means Of drill
in the technicalities of literature, des-
potism has never received, from writer's
upon education, half the praise that il
deserves. The writer is sure to be
careful in his phraseology when . rash
word may mean lifelong exile; and one
of the results of the terrors Of the Rus
sian penal code was that novelists
learned compression and vigor, IS well
as al the possibilities of seriousness.
We ind this forcible reserve even dur
ing the brief aowering-time OF romanti-
cism, which is yet enriched by precise
and vivid realism. - Thomas Sergeant
Perry, IN Scribner's Magazine

{" Some Wonderful Childrens Days. "Goc
Is Good Voices from the Flowers" "Voice

Each should endeavor each to please,
